Iʼve raised £1,930 to ensure Santa is still able to come to the Patterson family this Christmas. Afterwards we can help out with the practical stuff... X

Story
Our lovely friend and colleague Chris has recently been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia - a rare and aggressive blood cancer. He is currently undergoing his first course of Chemotherapy and will be out of action for quite some time.
This is devastating and frightening news to Chris and his partner Lana. With the shock diagnosis, their world has been turned upside down.
Nobody should have the stress and worry of having to deal with this reality, and definitely shouldn't have the financial worry to contend with on top. Chris and Lana have two young boys Oliver and Jack (both very cheeky chaps - Oliver a toddler and Jack following quickly in his footsteps).
I would love to raise funds for the family - helping to take away some of the financial strain they will face in the months ahead.
Perhaps we could start with raising cash to ensure that Oliver and Jack can still be spoiled by Santa this year? Cash can always be put towards the practical stuff later...
Thanks for reading and please donate generously.

8 years agoOur page closes today - and we have absolutely annihilated our original £1000 target... WE are £70 away from hitting £2k - how awesome would it be if we could achieve that??? Dig deep peoples - anyone that hasn't donated, today is your final opportunity. Let's do this! Much Love X

8 years agoYou lot are smashing! So we have beaten the target with 6 days still to go. There are however some deductions to come off... We have one duplicate donation, and crowdfunding/justgiving take 5% for their fees, plus another 1.5 - 2% will come off for all card transactions.... This brings our current total (after fees) to around £1600! It would be awesome if we could push this harder for the last few days. Exceed expectation and help out this beautiful little family. Share the link with all friends, family & work colleagues. With love peoples X

8 years agoHello Peoples... Crowdfunding makes us have a date for closing our fundraising page... our deadline for donations is 8th December - 10 days from now. This gives us enough time to smash the target of £1500, and allow Chris and Lana to get their hands on the cash in time for Santa coming.Anyone that is still thinking about donating - then now is the time to do just that. Every little amount helps us get there. Both Chris and Lana are both on sick leave indefinitely - they will need the financial help of their friends and family. Share the love X
